weak left arm & dizzy

i'm 23 year old female... over the last year i've had random dizzy spells... it happens at different times... while i'm sitting/standing/driving... etc. It doesn't seem to be triggered by any type of movement. I asked a doctor once about this and she said that it was probably caused by skipping a birth control pill. However, even when i was off the pill this happened.

Recently my left arm has become weak... not persistant but intermitent. I don't really like to go to the doctor, so of course I've been putting it off. Could this be something serious, or could it be caused by the stress of grad school?:confused:

ps. i just found this sight today and i don't really know how it works, so pardon me if this topic was already talked about :o
